Despite getting sh*t all so far, I'm feeling very confident.

Feels like an awful lot of code are now spent, as the queue moved a lot faster this time, with 4 more shows to go.

Holding out for GA on a more convenient Saturday show.

Yes there can only be fewer people trying for each successive sale, in theory.

Ah no standing left now I must have got through just after, it’s not my preferred date so thinking of risking it and waiting for Liverpool tomorrow (she says as she sits refreshing incase they become available again)

Yeah I wasn't sure if it was mine either (coming from Cornwall so either way it's a long trip), but pulled the trigger when I saw standing available and being able to go with a bigger group of friends for the same show. Best of luck to everyone else.

If it's useful I was on AXS on my phone, got in about quarter past I think.

Between me and my friend we are 0/4 at getting tickets now, had 3 different error codes and then the 4th time got through and it said no tickets available 

Surely this luck has to balance out eventually

I'm sure it makes no difference, but I was using my phone and got through pretty quick.

I know it's probably not much consolation from me, but I'd honestly be stunned if everyone here didn't get tickets they wanted by the end of this pre-sale. We're whittling down the number of fans massively after each sale. Come tomorrow afternoon I can see people getting in quite easily. Not that it makes the waiting and trying any easier I appreciate!

Got 4 seats for Edinburgh off Ticketmaster using the browser on my phone. Joined the waiting room at 0930, was 3800 or so when the queue opened. All very easy.

Similar to my experience this morning but with AXS. Just left it running on my phone from half 10 and was through by about 11.25

Yeah was just thinking this. People are scrambling and taking seats they don’t really want, VIP packages etc just to ensure they’re there. But nothing to say that you couldn’t have just accessed on the other sale dates and accessed a ‘better’ ticket with much more ease.

Got through. There's only the most expensive VIP package (£600) one left. Checked each one and refreshed a few times.  Even the side + restricted view seats. People are just grabbing what ever they can it seems.

Excellent. I had to go for seats as we’re gonna take the kids but £143 for what looks like a decent view pitch side view seems fairly reasonable by modern standards.

Through the queue in much better time at the second attempt but once again only the top tier VIP packages left. Try again tomorrow folks 🙂 

100% all of this. People are panicking and compromising what they really want. Eventually you'll all get in and have the choice of tickets, I'm sure.

Its either that or less tickets are on sale than people thought there would be. Verified is gonna be a blood bath if you don't get a code.

Obviously we can't be sure, but my feeling is there are actually more tickets than I thought. I got through being 1,100 in the queue and every category of tickets looked to be available. If people are getting through after being 10,000 or higher and spaffing their code on side view tickets, they're just taking themselves out of the hat for better tickets later down the line.

Yeah I’m now seeing it this way too. Not a great way to treat the fans who are obviously the most dedicated and purchased Midnights - but one thing it does do by targeting these fans is ensuring some of the less desirable seats and/or VIP packages are snapped up in the first wave, something which more ‘casual’ fans may be more reluctant to do given the prices.

Bit of a pisser that the two dates I am most eager to get tickets for (Vienna and Wembley June Saturday) both go on sale at the same time tomorrow. Quite glad I got the cheap seats earlier for the Wembley Friday just in case it’s a strike out on both tomorrow.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
